I thought when I finished crocheting this bag the process of decorating it would only take a day or two, but this project is affording me far too many opportunities to use the myriad crafting supplies I have lying about; too many ideas! For instance, the rose shaped buttons I purchased at the fabric outlet lent themselves perfectly to anchoring little beaded swags (and goodness knows I have enough beads to last five lifetimes).
So as you can see, it's coming along, but sloooowly. Looks okay though, so I am encouraged. Now to decide on what to do for the next row...
